is there any way to use kotlin.serialization for the Sessions feature? in particular how the data class is turned into some sort of string..
whni i extend SessionStorage to store those strings in postgres, i would like to have json or structured data instead of however it serializes fields

here's an example of how to do it with gson... not sure about kotlin serialization https://ktor.io/servers/features/sessions/serializers.html

oh thats a feature i did not see.. then its quite possible.. i just need to pass along the Serializaer type and blindly cast .. which is fine since its only 1 type ever and if it fails i treat it as if it never did anything

so is there any way to shortcircuit this T -> String -> ByteWriteChannel -> Storage ?
ideally i would want to just directly write and read T into a database and access its different fields and pass that to a INSERT via exposed

Is there any reason for me to not just write and read from database in SessionSerializer and do nothing in SessionStorage ?

[Nikky]

except i guess the invalidate function is on the storage
